I've been a part of RL for awhile now and wanted to say thanks to everyone here for everything y'all have done for me.
James, Sean, Mark R., Roger & Mickster just to list a few.

I've just been served divorce papers and am really just lost right now.
I'm going to be losing my wife of 10 years and my 3 beautiful kids.

I'd really like to ask that you guys keep my family and myself in your thoughts and prayers.

I'm praying for reconciliation but don't see it.
Selling my 85' because I can't even afford a defense attorney.
Thanks for everything RL!

Been praying for ya buddy, don't let the ******** get you down. Bad things happen to good people all the time, it's how that person handles themselves when they are down that really matters. You will come out of this a stronger man with more focus.

No matter the outcome, I'm here for ya buddy.

 

There is only one way to loose your children and divorce is not it. Hang in there ...it is not the end of all ends. I too felt like that when my first divorce ( I've been through 3 ) happened. There are lots of good times ahead.

 

Good luck Brian, there are worse things in life though it probably doesnt look like it now. In the last 5 years my wife and I have been through hell. Loosing the mother of our grandchildren, my disability, and now Annes cancer battle. I lost my s4 in a fire. However, I bought one that looks a lot like yours for 2k with bent valves from TX and have finally got her running beautiful. Now, I want to come down and run the Texas mile so If you would like to participate in that next year, you will be welcome to use my car. If you need a break and want to come visit the NC beach, I can give you a couch for a few days and the keys to the shark. Just don't loose your head and do something stupid. Your friends will always be there. In fact it is times like this that will show who your real fiends are.

Good luck, be kind and maybe she will be kind in return and let you have the kids all you want. No one can ever take your kids away from you. 'Ever' you will have the relationship you take the time to build. One last thought, kids are kids for just a fraction of a lifetime. If you do it right, they can be friends for many many years after growing up and 'She' will have no power to prevent that.

My heart will be with you,

 

So sorry to hear. Prayers for sure. I have been through 2 myself and it is hard but perservere and you will be rewarded later. I spent some money on a good lawyer and kept 50/50 custody both physical and legal. Again, this is not easy but so worth it in the long run.

Fixing what life throws at us is hard, not taking action is not an option. Reconcile is a valid option.

I have a wonderful girlfriend after 10 years of being single. Both of my kids are living with me right now for the next 6 months including my grandson. Son is starting his career as a Fireman Paramedic soon and daughter is here while her husband is at war. My life is very, very good right now.

I found a lawyer who was a part time judge for family court. He gave me sound advice and the courts look at the children being # 1. Parents are at the bottom of the list. Fight for your rights as a Father.

I hope you get back together with your wife, best outcome, but only if it feels right.

 

That's crap. Stay focused on who/what is important to you.

 

What I hear you saying is, it isn’t over “yet.” If it was me with those three young kids… man, what I wouldn’t do to make things right. In our thoughts and prayers.

 

Brian - hang in there. This, too, shall pass. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family!

 

Keep in mind that you can replace a wife....there's a vast pool to choose from.

The kids will always be yours, regardless of what happens.

Good 928s are harder to find.

 

Brian:
Like Dean said, the only way you ever loose your kids is death. We know! Hang tuff, and get a lawyer that will look out for you when you can't look out for yourself. In other words, don't let your heart do your thinking!

I've never been divorced, so I can't speak from experience. I've seen enough to know that it's a dirty business. The women have their girlfriends to egg them on. And they get very nasty.

Protect yourself, we're here for you! Best of luck.

Brian sorry to hear this,
the right things will show up as you walk your path.
Maybe that means working with your wife or not .
If not you should find a woman that likes what you do
God bless you and your family.

 

Damn, sorry to hear this. Lot's of bad juju on the boards lately.
No matter what, call your kids every day, say hello even if just for a moment each, and never forget to do this. Never miss a visit, and always let them know that you are dad. That means dropping the hammer sometimes even when you don't want to. Things will change, but you can make it work as to the kids. That's a relationship to never surrender, whetheryou are living with them or not.
Prayers to you.

 

Brian,
Prayers are with you, that you get through this and things get better.

Hang in there man!

 

Hang in there man... divorce is nothing but an overdue renewal of your huntin' & fishin' license!
